He called it the Onza. Said it inhabited soutwest US and would bite your butt off. Described it as having a long dark streak down its back. People wrote in telling him he was fos or saying they had had many encounters with the feared beast.
There were several versions of a hunt by George Herter Sr! and his son Jacques. First one came out in a gun magazine and had Jacques clearly equipped with a Python and a Buntline Colt .45. They followed the dogs and killed a Jaguar and a Black Bear. Same story with pictures of the Colts showed up in the Herters Catalogue- only this time George Sr wrote the article and claimed that they were Herter .401 Powermags.
